Important season for Fernando Tatis Jr? | Baseball Today 

I wish we could hear Don and mud in the stadium, it feels like you're missing their magic when watching the game live

Those Tatis cleats were awesome!

@@MariaEaton_18 hell yeah they were!

@@thelonelyphish loved those cleats! Happy Birthday to Petco Park as well! and 3 year anniversary to Musgroves no hitter!

I was there too and wow what a game, Petco was absolutely jumping on a Monday night. Shoutout to everyone that stayed the whole game

I’m a Giants fan, everyone has forgotten Logan Webb was suspended for PED’s lol.

He also was coming back from 1 shoulder surgery and 2 wrist surgeries

Mud grant is the worst broadcaster! He goes on random talks about something so far away from baseball it takes away from the game. I most the time listen to the game via radio and mute my TV.

@@TwiztidMonstaid find that annoying too if he wasn’t legitimately a funny guy

Don and mud might BARELY break top 5 in baseball. And that's being generous.

Cap

Don and Mud are loose and not the typical duo..all the rest imo are tight asses…super conservative and boring with trying keep baseball talk the same as it was since was waaaaay back in the day to keep the old heads happy smh

I just read an application for the Rays bat boy positions out of curiosity, and it mentions nothing about playing ability.

It's all that Farmers Dog he enjoys 😂

I too sometimes think it hasn’t started yet and skip over to something else.

Or just wait 5 seconds lol.

@@skarbone1bro cannot go 10 seconds without constant stimulation

@@skarbone1 first, check the up votes, it's clearly not just me. And when the show is an outlier (Jimmy pipes in right at the start of Talkin' Yanks), it makes it seem broken. There's enough broken shit in the world that if it's not broken, don't steal my attention making me check or I'll move on because of this very fixable problem. You clearly need to be miles away from a job related to customer experience.

They take the vod of the live stream and just upload it to RU-vid. After a few weeks you’ll get used to it, I already have.

Gave me Khalil Greene flash backs

Yes we do. I’m the biggest tatis fan. Born and raised in San Diego. My son loves him. I want nothing more than for him to succeed but even I don’t buy that’s the only reason he took a banned substance if at all. Plouffe is right, he has to prove it on the field again.

Well when you get popped like that people are going to wonder or speculate whether you had been doing it for longer and just got caught once.

They randomly get tested multiple times a year. I tend to believe his story only because you’d have to be incredibly stupid to knowingly take steroids knowing you’re also going to get tested.

Exactly, he did his time and never benefited from PEDs. He's done dumb things, but he's cleaned up his act, and I hope he can return to form. Haters are gonna hate

Lmfao that's absolutely bs. You cannot definitively state that he never benefitted from an anabolic steroid. Absolutely brain dead take.

@lou2056 Clostebolis used to treat ringworm. MLB drug test players at the start and randomly throughout the season. Now, if he took it to heal faster from his wrist injury or to treat ringworm. Only Tatis knows the real answer. But claiming/speculating he's been taking it before getting suspended is a brain-dead take. There is no evidence of that prior to him getting popped in 2022.

he only thinks that bc correa is on his team now. you’re right, fans will never forget.

Real fans understand that Tatis never played a game on the stuff and that what he "took" was one of the weakest anabolics on the face of the planet and would literally NEVER be the choice of someone trying to beat a test 👍

It seems like it sometimes. Although, at least he tries to hide it unlike people like Ken Rosenthal or Bob Knightengale lol

Im taking Soto over Tatis any day of the week. Soto is a better hitter, better fielder, better team mate and seemingly makes better life choices than Tatis.

@malkinmalone I will admit Juan Soto is far more mature and has better judgment than Tatis. And has been a more durable player than Tatis. This is important because it doesn't matter how good you are if you are not on the field or in the lineup. As far as who is a better teammate I cannot say since my only knowledge is not first-hand. I cannot offer an honest assessment from second or third-hand accounts and sources to determine either way. Let's just say Soto is. Defensively I have to disagree that Soto is not a better defensive player than Tatis Jr. Tatis has better range and a stronger more accurate arm. The guy did not win a platinum glove by accident last year. He did so even after a position change. There were countless balls hit into the gap where Tatis was able to hold the batter to a long single rather than a double if it were Soto in the position. Tatis even had runners thrown out at first after lining the ball to right field. Not sure if Soto was such a player before his Padres career, all I know is what I witnessed first-hand by seeing every single game he had as a Padre. I know Soto has a tremendous on-base percentage and has an incredible command of the strike zone. That's undeniable! Both players have similar power numbers with Tatis having a better HR per At bat than Soto. Soto has a career total of 162 HR in 2754 at-bats. Tatis has 110 HR in 1668 at-bats. 52 less in over a thousand fewer plate appearances Tatis has a slightly higher slugging percentage while Soto has a much better on-base percentage. Tatis is a Legit 5-tool player while Soto is a 2 or 3-tool player at best. As far as base running goes, there is no contest Tatis by far is a better base runner. If a ball is hit in the gap it is more likely that Tatis would score from first than Soto. Soto has just a handful of stolen bases which you would think he would have accumulated much more due to his frequency of being on base. Tatis has above-average speed, hell he even stole home standing-up last year. Don't get me wrong, I would love to still have Soto on the Padres. Of course, I would. But if I had to choose one over the other I still would choose Tatis even if he is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is a shiny one.

Some of you guys just refuse to enjoy anything, it’s hilarious

Hi there...first of all, thank you very much for watching. We do appreciate it. Padres won the craziest game of the year. Then we talked about Elly (he plays in the midwest). Snell was an obvious choice to talk about. Have you ever seen a player sign a ball DURING an at bat?? (I hadn't either, that's why we discussed it). And we always talk about kids to who get extensions whether they play in Boston, KC or Colorado (we did Tovar this year too). Some shows do favor the coasts. We discuss the most important topics of the day.

Ryan Braun?

That's the thing...he wasn't putting up numbers before one monster night. Barely had a .700 OPS prior to Monday....

the swing and miss in his game is a real problem. trevor had a very nuanced dialogue about that. not sure if you bothered to listen to what he had to say about it.

That's what happens for unintelligent people, I guess.

it's what I specialize in. Thanks!

That's what makes him awesome

Dodgers cheated against the Brewers in 2018, cry about it

Good thing Tatis didn't play one regular/post season game on PEDs.

The Astros live in your tiny head rent free.

My god dude quit yapping

ronald acuña, jr. would like a word.
